Sonic Advance 2

This game gives me more memories than Sonic Advance, if only because of the incentive to replay through the game several times to unlock more things. For example, look on the cover right here. Notice something different than Advance, besides from Cream being on the box now? Yep, Amy is not there, she has to be unlocked. So does the Tiny Chao Garden from Sonic Advance, as well as the Sound Test. And of course, getting all of the Emeralds allows you to do the Extra Zone as Super Sonic, but more on that shortly.

Generally it just builds from Sonic Advance, and I do have a lot of fond memories playing this game. The most difficult part, for me, was hunting down the Special Rings to access the Special Stages, and those were a little bit hard as well. This game was just, generally harder than Sonic Advance, but that was fine by me (However, I don't know if the rings or the Chao-hunting in Sonic Advance 3 were worse.. hmm...) and it was just a lot of fun playing.

Also, I think one of the funniest parts has to just be using Cream to annihilate bosses by rapidly pressing B to send Cheese, her little Chao, after the bosses and just staying back. Kind of makes it was easier, but it's fun to just wreck Eggman's machines with a cute, little Chao helper. But regardless, it's always fun to play as other characters and see how their skills can help you find new areas you couldn't find before, especially in the daunting quest to collect the Special Rings and collect the Chaos Emeralds (which, by the way, you have to collect with all the characters if you're wanting that 100% completion satisfaction. This means you have to find all of the Rings and get all of the Emeralds... 5 times! Once for each character.. yikes..)

But yeah, this game is fun and even if it's not a masterpiece, I still had a lot of fun sinking hours into playing it and trying to unlock everything (and no, saying that Amy and other things are unlockable isn't a spoiler, it's actually right in the instruction manual) and it was just a fun time. Thanks for reading and I'll see you soon! :D

Have a nice day!~
